I'm not convinced we're talking about anything other than the next Z06 considering it seems it's still a couple of years away.
If the top N/A motor goes to 6.2L and makes say 450 HP in the base 'vette, you throw on the blower to make 575 HP for the Z06.. That doesn't really leave any room for the handbuilt big dollar LS7 in between.

Holy Crap! YOU'RE STILL AROUND?? I thought you left years ago. I never much wander from the Lounge, but came here today to check out some news on the Blue Devil.

People inside call it "SS".
It is NOT the "next Z06". Z06 will remain a separate model.
I suggest being skeptical of some of the "inside info" you see on Corvette Forum. There are a couple of guys there who are telling stories that aren't supported by the evidence.

Base Vette: 6.2L 450hp
Z06: S/C 6.2L 600hp+
Blue Devil/SS: ???? 700hp+???
I still like Corvette Zora for the BD/SS, but until we actually see renderings/images of the car, I withold making a final judgement.

He is usually right it seems, and it would make sense.

Blue blocks are for fords...return to the red/orange blocks. For Blue Devils just make the small details blue...such as emblem, guages, control lighting, calipers, stiching and such.

Another avenue of speculation:
Does the 'Blue Devil' go racing in ALM or Speed World Challenge? Would a 'new' C6.R show up on the track before 'BD' hits the streets?
If the next top motor really is a blown 6.2 and not a variant of the 7L, wouldn't we see it in ALM or WC before production?
